Gorillaz have been teasing a new record in recent times, and it would appear guitarist and singer Noodle has been searching for female inspiration during the writing and recording process.

She has shared her discoveries on Soundcloud, with a new mix featuring the “kick-ass women” who inspire her.

“In search of new sounds and new inspiration,” she wrote, “I found these kick-ass women who in their own individual ways are true pioneers in the writing, production and creation of MUSIC. They have inspired me, and I hope they inspire you too.”

The mix is just shy of half an hour, and features Grimes, Laurie Anderson, and Anna Meredith. Listen to the mix below, as well as a list of all the songs included within.
